Abstract: The main objective of this paper to present prototype of aircraft landing gear using higher end CAD software to study the behavior of landing gear as per actual working condition and to perform structural analysis to study the landing gear behavior for cyclic loading ( fatigue loading). Computer modeling (CAD) and finite element analysis will be explored to analyze stresses developed while landing. It also includes displacement analysis. For modeling purpose PROE-WILDFIRE software & for analysis ANASYS V-8 software is used.

Keywords: Modeling, stress analysis
